“Compromise is not about losing. It is about deciding that the other person has just as much right to be happy with the end result as you do.” -Donna Martini

Our last full week for the 2024-2025 school year has come to an end. We’ve truly had a great year and it’s been such a pleasure watching all our CHMS students grow and learn. This week we took some time to celebrate and recognize two of our wonderful teachers who are retiring at the end of the school year. We wished best of luck in retirement to Dave Jensen and Kerry Young. Their dedication, unbelievable commitment and motivation to teaching and supporting so many students over the years has been truly remarkable. Dave has been teaching in the Camels Hump community for 19 years and Kerry has been teaching here for 36 years! They both have helped students reach their fullest potential and have been incredible role models and outstanding colleagues. We all feel very fortunate to have been able to work with both Kerry and Dave. We learned so much from them and they truly have made CHMS a better place. They will be missed dearly!
Next week we will be celebrating our 8th grade students with a celebratory Recognition Night on Monday evening. On Tuesday, we will be hosting our annual all-school field day. There will be indoor and outdoor activities including some water play opportunities. We ask that students bring a bathing suit if they choose to participate in the water fun. Additionally, students may want to bring a towel, extra change of clothes and extra shoes. All students should come prepared with a water bottle and their own sunscreen. We will be hosting a bar-b-que lunch. Wednesday is our last school day. We will be sending home end-of-year report cards with students. If your student is not in attendance on Wednesday, we will mail home their report card.
We wish everyone a great weekend and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads and father figures!

Important News:
We want to share that there is a recent TikTok trend that has spread into many schools across the country including schools within the MMUU school district. The focus of the Tik Tok videos is the destroying of Chromebooks. We have started to see damage to devices due to students putting metal, pencils and other objects in their usb ports to try to catch them on fire. This Tik Tok challenge is described in this news article. This is also a serious safety concern. The smoke that is produced from tampering with ChromeBooks is highly toxic and very harmful. Willful damage to our devices cannot be repaired under our warranties. Any willful damages will be billed to families as noted in the school handbook. Students who engage in this type of activity will lose their ability to use a Chromebook at school for a period of time. We are asking families, in collaboration with the school, to speak to their students about the dangers and consequences of this challenge.

Health Updates from CHMS Nurses:
District guidelines remain in place - If you are sick, please stay home. If your child requires cold medicine, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen for an illness, they are not well enough to attend school.
Please keep them at home. Please read this link District Illness Guidelines
Please also take a few minutes to review these guidelines for
The Management and Treatment of Head Lice.
As warmer, sunnier weather returns we have a couple reminders for the health of students. Hydration is important! Please send your student(s) to school with a water bottle each day.
Also, if you want your student to wear sunscreen, please apply it at home and/or send it with them to use independently prior to going outside.
Tick checks each day are a good idea to add to your routine as well.
Thank you and enjoy the spring weather!
